Does anyone have a sample bend table for 304 Stainless I can try? I have been playing with k-factors and bend allowance in sw2005 but could never get a result to match the outcome on our real-life bend tests.
Thanks

We have pretty good results with .365 as the k-factor for stainless up to
7ga. BTW .446 works good on c.r.s, h.r.s. and 3000 thru 5000 series aluminum.Hope this helps, Jeff
I found a Free sheet metal bend allowance calculator at

Playing with that now.
What about hemming?
